Condition 2: Governance Oversight

   4. that it has implemented an appropriate self-review system and protocol to regularly assess the effectiveness of its governance operations
   5. that the Academic Senate is appropriately oversighting the delivery and enhancement of its course of study

Additionally, TEQSA imposed under section 53 of the TEQSA Act, the following condition on the accreditation of the Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood offered by Australian Early Education Institute Pty Ltd (AEEI):
